Servings 24 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, slightly cold
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (220 g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 eggs, cold
  • 1 teaspoon (4.2 g) vanilla
  • 3 1/2 cups (420 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon (4 g) baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon (4 g) baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon (6 g) salt
  • 2 cups (300 g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • Add the eggs one at time and mix until well incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the vanilla and mix for about 30 seconds.
  • With the mixer on low speed, add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix until combined. 
  • Stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Scoop 2-inch balls of dough onto the cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The cookies are done when the edges are slightly golden brown. The top may look a little soft. That's ok! The cookies will continue to bake a little while they cool.
